Indeed. They also didn't have the omnipresent surveillance back in 1989. Hard to imagine how the student movement back then would have gained momentum using today's communication tools (with the government backdoors and all). Su

So you really think that was my point? What I was getting at is what relevance the quality of a CEO's internal communication prowess has when his company perpetuates toxic practices and processes from the top down.

>In 2010, he penned a tribute to Amazon’s engineers ... The tone was just right, neither disingenuously geeky nor overtly tongue-in-cheek. I'd love to see a similarly graceful and well-penned tribute from Bezos to the workers who ro

Sure, as long as they bring current industry-standard QC processes to the party. I'm skeptical.

Can you explain the ink cartridge thing further? I'm not from the US so this seems ridiculous.

Thanks for the recommendation. Would be an interesting read, despite the misfires around "real friends". Conjugate what-now? I actually love delving into ghe details and processes of my friends' jobs. Then again I've ne

I think the maddening ambiguity you mention, along with the general aesthetic and ambition of the film all stem from a pretty fascinating synthesis. On one hand, you have a filmmaker who is really hitting his stride as an artist. Kubrick i

Magnesium can help, but the PSA for the layperson should be about getting prednisone in the first 24 hours of an acoustic trauma. I almost want to write this in all caps because this will literally save your hearing. I was lucky enough to

Facebook isn't going anywhere for a long time. They'll retain the privacy-clueless fossils with FB. They'll keep the aspirational set with IG. Anything even remotely competitive or alternative they'll just throw cash at

Sure, but all of the examples you give are of bad actors trying to influence the opinion of the general public. In 2018, the same bad actors are using private information to change the opinions of fragments of individuals in certain electo

You're arguing that the vast majority of the 1% are not selfish actors? I would need serious convincing to take your point. Btw, I don't see being "selfish" as a bad thing or value judgement. It's kind of what we d

Indeed. The advocacy for Universal Basic Income for the top 1% has always struck me as a wealth insurance move on their behalf. Sustain the status quo and the great unwashed won't sack your property portfolio.

I think the distiction you may be missing is between fashion and style. Anyone can be fashionable by buying what's in season or mimicking a celeb. Being stylish is what's beautiful and admirable. You don't even have to be a m

Downvote me to coach, but I've never understood why people assert that Youtube owes their users advertising dollars, where other social media platforms are exempt. Youtube has for years run at a loss, providing free high-quality video
